I believe that a good friend of mine is making a big mistake by re-marrying too quicklly. Sadly I can not discuss the horrible details, however, I feel she is rushing into this marriage, only thinking about herself, not her kids. I have tried to talk to her, but she doesn't want to hear it. Any advice?

Sarah, this is about the nail gun Q. forgive me, you don't allow e mail.
First of all you stated NAIL gun, not Brad Gun. I suggested avoiding Harbor Freight, out of experience. They sell LOT based imports for the most part, and less than quality merchandise. I hope at the very least you research this a bit more.
I wish you success.

She is probably making a mistake, but you do have to let her make her own mistake. You could maybe suggest she find a college near his that offers dance. Odds are she may very well change her major, break up with this guy, etc., and it is not a good idea to follow him if she cannot major in dance there. I had a guy friend who could have gotten a full scholarship to Notre Dame on soccer, but he chose to follow his girlfriend. She broke up with him after college. I think he would have been farther in life had he pursued his dreams, because if a couple is meant to be together, they will work it out no matter the distance. Maybe politely suggest but in all you have to let her make her own choices and just be there to pick her up when she falls....That's what friends are for. Good luck, and I am so glad you are so focused on your future! :-)

Nope. She won't listen, you'd be wasting your breath. It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion; you watch and are helpless to stop it. She will have to do whatever she wants and reap the consequences later; unfortunately she is taking the kids along for the ride.

She obviously has her mind made up, she is an adult and there is nothing you can do, but be there for her when she needs it. It sounds like from the past relationship, that unless things have changed she will need you sooner than later.

try explaining it to her. if she is a good friend and you guys care about each other, she'd take in your advice. she'd also realize the mistakes she's making also. the best way is to tell her straight-forward.

your wasting your time, all you can do is sit back and when the time comes then you can say I told you so.
